SDL's Claude.md

The SDL project has published a Claude.md file stating that generative AI, including large language models, should not be used in any way when contributing to SDL, and that AI-generated comments or code should not be submitted in bug reports or pull requests. The project says it wants its code to be "art" and to interact with real humans, adding that "we want to connect with you, not your computer." Any pull request to the project will ask contributors to confirm they are the author and are contributing their changes under the zlib license.

Generative AI, including large language models (LLMs), should not be used in any way when contributing to SDL.

We want our code to be art. We want to interact with real humans. Please don't submit AI-generated comments or code in bug reports or pull requests. We understand some people consider AI to be a useful tool, but we want to connect with you, not your computer.

Any pull request to this project will ask you to confirm that you are the author and that you are contributing your changes under the zlib license.
